Abstract
Pieces of game data are stored in a game data storage section in the process of game processing. A game server then transmits, among them, game parameters such as scores and positions of characters and data such as the three-dimensional structure of a virtual world to a live image display support apparatus. The live image display support apparatus performs prioritization and clustering by using the game parameters and generates control information such as the state of a virtual camera on the basis of a normal and the like of the ground in the virtual world.
